Piano whispers in the dark
Like a secret, soft and stark
Your silhouette in candlelight
Feels like jazz on a velvet night
Every note, a tender sigh
Every chord, a lullaby
This velvet beginning, slow and warm
Like rain against the glass in a quiet storm
We’re dancing in the hush of sound
Where love and music both are found
This velvet beginning, soft and deep
A melody that makes hearts weep
Before the words, before the end
It starts with you, my dearest friend
Your voice, a saxophone in bloom
Fills this silence, clears the room
No need to rush, no need to try
The music holds us, you and I
Every note, a tender sigh
Every chord, a lullaby
This velvet beginning, slow and warm
Like rain against the glass in a quiet storm
We’re dancing in the hush of sound
Where love and music both are found
This velvet beginning, soft and deep
A melody that makes hearts weep
Before the words, before the end
It starts with you, my dearest friend
Let’s stay right here, don’t fade away
Where the rhythm gently sways
We’ll write our story bar by bar
On this jazz-lit reservoir
This velvet beginning, take my hand
Let’s float where only lovers land
With every breath, we softly sing
Of love, of time, of everything
